Chapter 27 Extreme Thirst for Minerals

The city of Nisi has never been so lively as it has been these days.

Three days ago, when the ocean-going fleet of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce arrived at the ordinary port of Nixi City, which was built only two months ago, and anchored at the port, the entire Nixi City became a sensation.

Countless people flocked to the port to watch the three magical ships that were said to have come from the Principality of Standing, more than 2,000 kilometers away.

Seeing these three huge magical ships parked on the shore like hills, everyone couldn't help but marvel.

Such a big ship is beyond everyone's imagination.

Not to mention that the whole body of these three ships is made of hard steel, and there is hardly any wood visible from the outside.

After seeing these three ships, apart from being shocked, everyone had more doubts in their hearts.

The weight of a ship made entirely of steel is absolutely astonishing.

So how does such a heavy ship float on the sea and even run at high speed . . .

The straight-line distance from the Principality of Standing to here is close to 2,000 kilometers, so the sea journey will definitely exceed 2,000 kilometers, or it will be close to 3,000 kilometers.

And these three ships are said to have set off from the Principality of Standing more than 20 days ago, so if calculated, it is equivalent to sailing more than 100 kilometers on the sea every day. The onlookers were even more shocked when they saw the sailors continuously carrying cargo down from the three ships.

Although it can be inferred from the huge appearance of these three ships that their cargo capacity must be exaggerated, when people witness the sailors don't stop working at all. After three days of continuous handling, the goods on the three ships have not been moved. But still feel incredible.

Although only three ships. But judging from this situation, I am afraid that the goods on these three ships are enough to be worth the goods transported by hundreds...not thousands of carriages at the same time!

No wonder the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce claims to have invested millions of gold coins to build this port in cooperation with Nixi City. Such a single shipment can transport such terrifying goods, which will undoubtedly help the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce save a lot of manpower, material resources and time. .

After seeing the terrifying cargo capacity of these three magic ships with their own eyes, many people immediately became active.

"Captain Neval, good morning."

A fat middle-aged man smiled and got off a magic car, and greeted Nevalyan, who was supervising the work of the sailors by the port. "Good morning, President Randolph."

President Randolph is the president of a chamber of commerce in the city of Nissi that deals in spices and timber. Since he accompanied Count Kompany, the new lord of the city of Nissi, to the ceremony to welcome the arrival of the new fleet of the Chamber of Commerce the day before yesterday, every day for the past three days Come and chat with Neval for a while.

"Captain Neval, how long will it take for these goods to be unloaded?" Chairman Randolph asked the sailors who were busy getting on and off the three ships.

"If you don't delay, today will be the soonest, and tomorrow will be the latest." Neval replied, raising his eyebrows. Asked back: "What? Does President Randolph have any advice?".

President Randolph laughed: "Why do you have any advice, but there are some things I want to discuss with Captain Neval. I wonder if Captain Neval can have a meal with me at noon?"

"Here we come." Neval smiled inwardly. With a serious expression on his face, he shook his head. "I'm afraid I can only apologize for this. Before the departure, the president has strictly ordered that no one in the fleet is allowed to participate in any private banquets."…

"But the dinner of the city lord three days ago..."

"That was my participation in the name of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, instead of the chairman. Moreover, the city lord did not entertain in the name of a private person, but represented the Luerxun Kingdom and the officials of Nixi City." Neval said seriously.

"This..." Seeing Neval's serious expression, which didn't look like he was joking, President Randolph felt a little embarrassed.

Originally, I wanted to discuss some things with Neval through the banquet, but now Neval put on a posture of refraining from oil and salt, which is really unexpected.

Neval suddenly showed a smile: "President Randolph, the President said before leaving that you can't eat, but there are some things that can be discussed..."

President Randolph's eyes lit up immediately, he looked left and right, and gently pulled Neval.

Neval understood, and went with him to a dark place covered by the huge hull of Chaoyang.

President Randolph pondered for a moment, and said, "Captain Neval, after you go back this time, you will come again after a while, right?"

"Of course." Neval nodded. "There are still a lot of goods ordered by the Luerxun Kingdom from our Xinfei Chamber of Commerce to be delivered, and our task is still very heavy."

"Then...is it possible...I mean it is possible, while transporting the goods of your Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, some other goods will be carried inside?" Chairman Randolph asked cautiously.

Neval looked at President Randolph with a half-smile: "I can't decide this, it has to be decided by the president."

Seeing that Neval didn't say anything to death, President Randolph immediately relaxed, and said with a smile: "Of course, this must be decided by President Xu. But Captain Neval, when you see President Xu , can you ask him to mention, I hope that when your fleet comes to Nixi City again, you can help me transport a batch of goods from the Principality of Standing?"

"It's okay to help you raise this request to the president, but I don't guarantee that the president will agree."

President Randolph nodded again and again: "No problem, no problem, as long as you can convey the message for me. But Captain Neval, while conveying the message, I also hope that you can add one more sentence, saying that as long as President Xu can agree, I am willing to pay enough freight for this batch of goods to ensure Chairman Xu is satisfied, what do you think?"

Neval couldn't help laughing, thinking that the chairman is really good at predicting things.

Before setting off, Xu Yi specifically explained to Neval about this situation. And told him how to deal with it.

So Neval walked out with a pretentious look of consideration. He pondered for a while. Then he nodded reluctantly.

"Well... I can tell the president the truth. But President Randolph, if you choose another method, I think the president will be more likely to agree to your request..."

"Huh?" President Randolph immediately understood the meaning of Neval's words, and hurriedly said, "Please tell Captain Neval."

Neval coughed lightly, looked around, and deliberately lowered his voice: "President Randolph, you should know that our Xinfei Chamber of Commerce mainly manufactures magic machines. This manufactures magic machines. Of course, it needs a lot of iron ore Ah, there are some other messy metal mines. But you also know that the Principality of Standing is a small place with very limited mineral resources, so the president always hopes to buy enough metal mines from other places..."

As the saying goes, you can know the elegance by listening to the stringed songs. As the president of a chamber of commerce, President Randolph couldn't understand the meaning of Neval's words. He laughed and said, "That's simple. There will be no problem with mineral resources at that point.”

After saying this, President Randolph suddenly felt a move in his heart. Slightly frowned.

"However, President Neval, given the close cooperation between your Xinfei Chamber of Commerce and our Kingdom of Rulson. If you really need a large amount of metal mines, I think President Xu can directly propose to His Majesty King Trutz to We bought it in Luerxun Kingdom, why do we need to go through this way?"

Neval sighed: "Master President has proposed to His Majesty King Trutz for a long time, and he has also obtained the consent of His Majesty King Trutz. I am not afraid to reveal a secret to you. In fact, His Majesty King Trutz has reached an agreement with our chamber of commerce. I signed an agreement and agreed to resell the mining rights of the five metal mines in the Rulson Kingdom. But the chairman still feels that it is not enough, so I want to get more through other channels, do you understand?".

President Randolph thought for a while, his eyebrows gradually relaxed.

Since His Majesty King Trutz is willing to sign an agreement with the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce to sell the metal mines in the kingdom, it proves that His Majesty the King will not restrict transactions in this area.

Moreover, the Luerson Kingdom has never imposed any restrictions on this kind of business, so even if he makes a deal with the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce in private, there shouldn't be any problems.

Of course, it is better to be cautious about this matter, so President Randolph did not agree, but told Neval that he would seriously consider it and try to give Neval a clear answer within a few days.

This result was also within Neval's expectation. Anyway, he came to Nixi City this time to explore the way, and contacted some merchants in Nixi City and the Rulson Kingdom to reveal this meaning.

With the powerful shock brought by the three huge magic ships of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, I believe that many people will be tempted by it like Chairman Randolph.

But to be honest, Neval actually doesn't quite understand why the chairman is so thirsty for mineral resources.

Although the mineral resources in the Duchy of Standing are not particularly rich due to the limited area, they can fully meet the current needs of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, and there is even a huge surplus.

However, the chairman seemed to be completely dissatisfied. He not only asked Neval to explore every island that was large enough to be found during the deep sea voyage, but also specifically told him to do so after arriving in Nixi City. put on a show.

However, apart from Thunder Island, there were not many small islands found on the route, and few of them contained mineral resources.

"I don't know if he will be disappointed after going back to report to the chairman..."

Neval shook his head, sighed, and walked out of the shadows after seeing President Randolph get into the magic car and leave the port.

Just as he was about to turn his head to instruct the sailors to work harder, out of the corner of his eye, he suddenly caught a glimpse of a very familiar magic car approaching at high speed from outside the port.

This pure white magic car stopped directly on the open space beside Chaoyang, and the door opened, revealing Xu Yi's tall and straight body.

Neval was stunned for a moment, and when he was about to rush over to meet him, he found that the car door on the other side was opened, and a little girl in her teens got out from inside.

Neval was stunned for a moment.

Chairman, he... When will there be an illegitimate daughter of this size?
